Back in college, I often preferred taking photos to doing my assigned
homework. As a result, my subjects were many, often complete
strangers. Sometimes I managed to get my friends captured as well.
I add images to this page as I uncover them.

Bill Ersland, a great illustrator from Stillwater. His skill with
paint is supreme.

Midory Komatsubara, perhaps the most outgoing of the many Japanese
exchange students.

Somewhere along the way, my definition
of interesting person had
changed. Cute smooth face alone
is no longer sufficient. Intelligence,
sense of humor or unusual and worthwhile
skills stand on their own, far ahead
of such trifles as looks or age
or anything else that fashion magazines
extoll as beauty essentials. In
fact, excessively careful grooming
or too much bod mods is viewed as
a sign of idle hands and of a mind
with too much time between thoughts.
By my criterea, Anney Oakley or
Imogen Cunningham would make fine
role models.
